Chapter 1026: East Becomes West 19
Listening to Li Xin's words, even if he had absolute faith in Li Xin, Yu still smiled bitterly and said: "General, this prairie is so big, Helanxiong is a native of here, from the information we obtained, this guy is simply a fugitive expert, he was so weak back then, he took his people to hide in Tibet, and survived tenaciously, we are mainly foot soldiers, and we want to catch this guy who is a cavalryman, but I am afraid it will be too difficult."
Li Xin laughed, "We can't find him, but we can let him come to us!"
"Looking for us?" But Rain's eyes widened, "How could he be so stupid, how could he hit our main force?"
Li Xin smiled and said to Dan Yu: "What have we been doing during this time?"
"We are sweeping the Xiongnu tribes on this grassland, firstly, to raise grain, grass, and meat, and secondly, to avoid future troubles!" But the rain channel.
"Put the location of these tribes we've swept away!" Li Xin on Dan Yu Dao.
But Yu stretched out his hand and felt out the pebbles from the ravine, and placed them in the corresponding positions in turn, and soon, in front of Dan Yu, a large arc-shaped circle appeared.
"Do you see what's coming?" Li Xin looked up at Dan Yu.
But Yu 9 stared at these pebbles and raised his head halfway: "General, this is a trap, a trap for Helan Xiong."
"Not bad!" Li Xin sat on the grass and stretched out his hand to shake the pebbles on the ground: "Wang Xiao did not take Shannan County as scheduled, giving He Lanxiong the opportunity to withdraw his troops, and now we can't catch his foot soldiers, but He Lanxiong led the cavalry to stay on the grassland, like a wild wolf watching us, if I can't catch him, how can I rest assured?" Although we had already made up our minds before the war to feed the war with war, we still needed logistical supplements, and we couldn't hang ourselves on a tree.
"So you set this trap?" But the rain admires the authentic." I thought that in the past, the actions of these troops were all to raise food and grass and replenish meat for the brothers!"
"Helanxiong, a barbarian, has fought since he was a child, he is experienced, and he doesn't have many flaws in the use of soldiers, if you want to lure him into a trap, the first step is to make him lose his cool head." Li Xin said: "What can make him lose his cool head, that is, to slaughter a large number of Huns, because the Huns suffered heavy losses in our hands back then, almost wiped out, these years under the support of Gao Yuan, only a little bit of vitality, and Helan Xiong is now regarded as a banner by all the Huns. Or do you think I'm such a murderous person? Chickens and dogs are not left, but this is not my Li Xin's style." Li Xin sighed.
"The left and right are just some barbarians, kill them and kill them!" But the rain is not so authentic.
Li Xin snorted, "I used to think the same way, but from Gao Yuan, I saw another way, whether it was the Huns or the Donghu people, now they have become Gao Yuan's powerful arms, what is the reason why the cavalry of the Han State is so strong, it is because Gao Yuan tamed these barbarians, what he can do, why can't we do it?" After this time the Han Kingdom was defeated, I would like to make a proposal to the king and change my strategy against the Huns, at that time, my Daqin family was dominant, and I believe that the people of insight among the Huns will know who to approach."
"But we've killed so many Huns now?" But Yu hesitated and said, "This feud has been knotted deep enough."
"As long as the benefits are sufficient, you can let them come over. In this world, the division and the union are not all due to profit, and because of profit, they all fall!" Li Xin said lightly.
"After the death of such a Huns, more than a dozen small Hun tribes were wiped out by us, I believe that Helanxiong must be extremely angry now, and the news he heard that each of the scattered troops of our army is only about 3,000 people, far less than the men and horses under his command, he must think that he can swallow our soldiers and horses in a very short time and then run away!" Li Xin continued: "But he will find that things will not be so smooth, I have been staring at him with wide eyes!" Whatever point he chooses to attack, the rest will come up from all sides in a very short time, lock him up, entangle him, and then our large army will be able to rush through."
"The general has no last resort!" But Yu said admiringly: "This circle, to be honest, if it weren't for the general, I really wouldn't see anything related to it!"
"I hope He Lanxiong can't see it!" Li Xin laughed, "After destroying Helanxiong's more than 10,000 cavalry in one fell swoop, we can really sit back and relax on the grassland!"
"Will Gao Yuan send a large number of reinforcements?"
"Gao Yuan has a heavy army in the Qi State, now I am afraid that it will be difficult to withdraw, the Chu people will entangle him, and Lu Chao and Meng Tian will attack from the Great Liang of the Wei State, they will go straight to the heart of the Great Han State this way, Gao Yuan's main force can only move in this direction, so even if he can send an army over, there will never be many of them, it is impossible to hinder the overall situation, the key is to destroy Helan Xiong's army."
"I see!" But Yu nodded and said: "No wonder these troops are all 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers, I was still wondering at the beginning that since it was a sweep, why not send all cavalry?"
"If the whole cavalry is dispatched, how can it be dragged down by Helanxiong, the cavalry fights, and the battle can end in an instant! Our cavalry is no match for them, not to mention the huge gap in numbers." Li Xin laughed, "The infantry seems to be weak against the cavalry, but the infantry who have been prepared for a long time use some equipment to set up a formation, and the cavalry wants to swallow them in a short time, but it is not so simple, and I, don't I need time?"
Yan Wei rode on his horse and walked forward slowly, he had just swept away a Xiongnu tribe, he didn't even know what this Xiongnu tribe was called, anyway, the general's order was to kill, burn, and rob, he conscientiously carried out the general's order, even if the knife in his hand hacked a minor child to death, there was a trace of discomfort in his heart, but he told himself that if these barbarians were not killed, they would definitely become the enemies of Daqin in the future.
Looking at the slowly advancing team, he was a little worried, the speed of the team was too slow, the whole team of three thousand people, but at this time escorted nearly two hundred and two carts, these cars were the materials he robbed, food and a lot of gold and silver, when did these Huns become so rich.
Could it be that the general already knew that these Huns were so rich? Otherwise, why did you have to bring so many big cars with you at the beginning of your own departure? If you hadn't brought these big carts with you, it would have been really hard to drag so many things.
However, the team was too slow and too chaotic, and thousands of cattle and sheep were mixed in the team, making the whole team sparse.
Yan Wei touched a secret letter sealed with fire paint in his arms, which was handed to him by General Li when he was leaving, and General Li told him that if he encountered an emergency or saw wolf smoke, he would open it. General Li made the military operation so mysterious this time, which made Yan Dawei strange, he had always been under General Li's command, and the orders given by the general were always clear, and there had never been such ambiguity as this time, which made people wonder.
Emergency? What emergency can there be now? The only thing that could threaten the Qin army was Helanxiong's cavalry unit in the upper reaches of the grassland, but since they entered the grassland, they have not found this mysterious cavalry force until now.
You won't be so coincidentally targeted by the other party, right? Yan Wei silently thought in his heart, if he was really targeted by this cavalry, he would be more than lucky, looking at the chaotic troops, Yan Wei silently prayed to heaven in his heart, not to let himself be so unlucky.
However, his prayer obviously did not work, and before the words fell, the ground began to tremble slightly, for the experienced Yan Wei, of course, he knew what this meant, and his face suddenly turned pale. In the blink of an eye, he saw a thick black line on the horizon.
The warning horn sounded in the army, and all the soldiers turned their heads to look in the direction where the black line had appeared. Yan Wei took out the letter in his arms for the first time, isn't it the time when the situation is urgent?
The content of the letter is very short." In case of an enemy cavalry attack, immediately form a formation with a large cart, defend on the spot, and at the same time ignite three piles of wolf smoke, even if you fight to the last person, you must not take a step back! If you don't encounter an attack, and see three piles of wolf smoke burning, immediately throw away all your baggage, advance as fast as possible in the direction where the wolf smoke is burning, and drag the enemy cavalry, even if the whole army is destroyed."
Yan Wei raised his head, now he understood General Li's plan.
"Take the car as the city, form a formation!" He yelled. Kill all the animals and use meat as a wall. The cavalry entered the chariot formation, dismounted, formed into archers, spearmen stepped forward, sword and shield soldiers followed, held on the spot, and those who retreated, beheaded!"
Hearing the order, the Qin army was quiet in an instant, swords and guns fell, one by one the livestock wailed and fell to the ground, with the sound of clanging, the carts were pushed together, the gold and silver on it were thrown to the ground like garbage, and the livestock that were killed were immediately piled on the car, and under the car, blood flowed all over the grassland in an instant.
In the shouting, the spearmen stepped forward, a spear was mounted on the top of the car city, the sword and shield soldiers followed, holding the sword and shield, squatting behind the spearmen, and the more than 1,000 cavalrymen who dismounted picked up their bows and arrows, wound the arrows, and the arrows hung on the ground, staring at the cavalry that was approaching quickly. For the tens of thousands of cavalry attacking, his more than 1,000 cavalry placed outside was purely the rhythm of death, and Yan Wei would rather use them as infantry.
Seeing that his soldiers reacted quickly, in the face of such a strong enemy, except for the beginning, they did not show any panic and fear, Yan Wei nodded with satisfaction, the Qin army will always be the most powerful army in the world, there is no one.
He knew that he might not survive today, but no matter what, he had to follow the general's instructions and drag the enemy as long as possible.
"Burn the wolf smoke and get ready to fight!" He shouted in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
